REVIEW FROM TONIGHT AT THE MOVIES

"The kind of movie one hopes to discover when watching unsigned, unknown movies at film festivals, Into the Wake is a smart impressionistic mystery-cum-thriller.. An intelligently structured script, even-handed direction...impressive sound design, some beautiful camera work, and a confident performance from Miller. Combined, they make Into the Wake an impressive directorial debut, and a film worth checking out should it hit a festival near you (or more likely cable/Netflix)."http://tonightatthemovies.com/indexhold/?p=19306
